THE NORD FAMILY has been making a positive impact on Napa Valley growing wine grapes and wine production for more than 40 years. Long sought after by winemakers because of its high-quality fruit from the more than 1,000 Napa Valley vineyard acres it owns or manages, Nord also has received local, state, and national recognition for its sustainable farming practices. In 2000, the Nord’s launched Nord Estate Wines, which showcase the “best of the best” fruit from family vineyards.
